Chapter 115 Some are happy, some are sad
Fuyao Palace.
When Xie Zhenrong heard that Yang Guifei had died, she was slightly stunned and a little bit unable to believe it for a moment.
Really dead?
She asked Madam Zhuang to confirm the matter personally.
When Nanny Zhuang came back, she brought back the exact news.
"Crown Princess, Concubine Yang is truly dead."
Xie Zhenrong was surprised and laughed out loud without any concealment.
She waited day and night, and cursed Yang Guifei hundreds of times over the years.
Now, this annoying vixen is finally dead!
Xie Zhenrong was so happy that she ordered dozens of dishes in a row and asked someone to invite the prince to have dinner.
Aunt Zhuang also laughed.
Yang Guifei died and the emperor fell.
It is even a question whether the emperor's health can recover.
No, even if he recovered, probably... possibly... perhaps... he would just be able to be an emperor emeritus.
When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Crown Princess must become the Queen.
After all, she heard that the Duke had made great contributions this time.
In addition, since the Crown Princess was pregnant, there was no reason for the Crown Prince not to make her the Queen.
The Crown Princess had been waiting for so many years and was finally satisfied. Nanny Zhuang was also happy for her.
When the eunuch who went to invite the prince came back, the prince did not come with him.
But Yongtai came in person to deliver the message.
"Crown Princess, His Highness has been so busy these past two days that he hasn't even had time to eat. He sent me here to tell you that any other matters can be discussed after he's done with his work. He told you to rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. If you have time, you can visit the Cining Palace more often to spend time with the Empress Dowager."
Xie Zhenrong was not angry that the prince did not come this time.
After all, the prince is now about to take over all the affairs of the court, so it is normal that he is too busy to get away.
Moreover, His Highness asked Yongtai to come and deliver the message, which shows that the Prince felt sorry for her because he could not come.
When she thought of this, she immediately smiled.
He also gave Yongtai some instructions, asking him to take good care of the prince.
As for whether she wanted to go to the Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, she did not respond.
Xie Zhenrong stroked her belly with a serious look on her face.
She didn't dare go out and take any risk.
This hard-earned child is more important than her life.
It would be safer to wait until the child is born before accompanying the Queen Mother.
Matron Zhuang advised, "Crown Princess, the Cining Palace isn't far from the Eastern Palace, and you don't need to walk there yourself; you can just take a sedan chair."
Xie Zhenrong thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Wait until the baby is born safely before going. The Queen Mother knows that I'm pregnant, so she won't care about these empty formalities. She also told me to take care of the baby."
Nanny Zhuang was speechless.
The Crown Princess has been waiting so hard for this child all these years, and now that she is finally pregnant, she can't help but feel nervous.
But this caution is a bit too much.
But Madam Zhuang also knew that there was no way she could persuade the Crown Princess when it came to the issue of the child, so she could only keep her mouth shut.
This side of Qionghua Palace.
Wen Li'er was sitting next to Xiaoxiao's cradle, watching him blow bubbles.
She is now very interested in all the interesting actions of the little kid.
For example, biting one's own hands and feet.
For example, while sleeping, it suddenly closes its eyes and opens its mouth, waiting to be fed.
She recorded the child's actions one by one and prepared to have them sent to Yuqing Palace.
After all, His Highness's identity is special, and it is impossible for him to witness his child's entire growth like an ordinary father.
Therefore, she could only use this method to get His Highness involved and show more love and care for the child.
After Wen Li'er finished writing, she put the rice paper into an envelope.
He also took another letter written to his parents and brother, and prepared to instruct Wanquan to deliver the letter to Yuqing Palace.
Before she could give any order, Wanquan came and reported, "Master, Concubine Yang is dead."
Wen Li'er blinked, a little confused.
Who is Yang Guifei?
Dead?
Wen Li'er's first reaction was disbelief.
But Wanquan didn't look like he was joking, so she asked the reason.
Wan Quan told Wen Li'er everything he had learned outside.
Wen Li'er opened her mouth slightly and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
this……
She didn't feel sorry for Yang Guifei, but she felt a little emotional.
Such a beautiful and charming imperial concubine, who was deeply favored by the emperor, actually died.
Quan Dayan, there are many women who envy Yang Guifei's good life.
In the end, who could have thought that she would end up like this?
Wen Li'er asked Nanny Qin to give some instructions to the palace maids serving in Qionghua Palace.
At this time, everyone should try not to go out, ask fewer questions, and keep a low profile.
As for the prince.
Wen Li'er hesitated for a moment, but finally put both letters away.
Yang Guifei is dead, the emperor has fainted, and Your Highness must be busy as a top now.
She shouldn't write to him again and distract him.
As for the letter to my family, it doesn’t matter if I write it later, there’s no rush.
…
The death of Yang Guifei truly illustrates what it means to have some people happy while others sad.
Inside Guanju Palace.
Yang Guifei's funeral ceremony was quite standard.
The mourning hall was set up in the main hall, surrounded by white curtains and flickering candlelight, looking somewhat solemn and eerie.
Yang Guifei's coffin was placed in the center of the hall, and her favorite jewelry and clothes were placed in front of the coffin.
Only a few people were able to enter the palace to attend Yang Guifei's funeral.
The palace maids and eunuchs didn't know where they hid.
Even her daughter, Princess Tai'an, left the palace in a hurry after just one visit.
Yan Shicheng and Yan Shiliang were dressed in plain clothes and knelt on both sides of the coffin.
Yan Shicheng looked at the direction where his imperial sister hurriedly left, clenched his hands, and suppressed the anger and grief in his heart.
Yan Shilin also looked in the direction where his imperial sister left, tears in his eyes, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.
"Royal brother, won't the Royal Sister see Mother off for the last time?"
Yan Shicheng sighed in his heart. The emperor's sister was worried that she would be implicated by her mother and would not be able to hold her head up in front of her husband and her in-laws.
But things have already happened, what's the point in denying it?
When he met his brother's gaze, the words in his mouth became different.
"My sister has something important to do, Ah Liang, please don't be angry with her. Mother has always loved my sister, and she will certainly not blame her."
Yan Shiliang nodded, not quite understanding, and continued to burn paper for his mother.
When the time came, Yang Guifei's coffin was carried out of the palace and sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
The bells in the palace rang again, the sound was desolate and bleak, and it rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, as if explaining the end of a life.
